... please...
I have gone through help and have not yet found info pertaining to the
"Apply filter when:" drop box.
Can anyone direct me to the help on this?
The reason is, I need to figure out the reason that when I click on "Run
Filters on Folder" nothing happens and I believe the answer may be
within this area, do you not think?
If I Am incorrect, please let me know.
Thanks for everyone's input and assistance on this and other topics on
the list..
You'll find it more likely for a filter say for sorting to a folder for
an email address is to choose
From: Contains (not match all) and remove all information to the left of
the @,
If a filter doesn't work click on edit and change the rules maybe switch
to: Reply to or To
Or change match all the following to any of the following.
What specifically do you need to filter?
Phillip... thank you for the response.
I Am filtering emails from various sources into the corresponding
folders I set up. i.e. yoga, fax, lending. personal and clients to name
a few.
I have set up filters by each category named above, then placing the
parameters rather it be subject, from, to, or body.. I use "Match any of
the following" and set to have the messages moved to the appropriate folder.
I Am finding that for messages already in folders, even in the main
folder, when I click on "Tools -> Run Filters on Folder" nothing
happens, even if I open Message Filter and run individual filters, that
does not work to forward messages to the correct folder.
Any other suggestions or recommendations for this?
TIA...
It works best if you first leave the messages in inbox. Then create the
filter to work on inbox. Then choose match any of ... , then select
desired folder. the filter should usually be set up to From:
The easiest way is right click,(control click), or click and holds on
the from and click on create filter.
This doesn't make any sense to me. Perhaps I'm just not understanding
what you're trying to say. Also, perhaps it's different between SM 1.1.X
and SM 2.0.
In SM 1.1.X, you create message filters. They are created for the account,
not for a mailbox. You create them on the account and they run automatically
on messages downloaded to the Inbox from your mail source.
You can *also* run the filter(s) on any other mailbox you choose, but this
must be done manually.
Best Regards,
the account is the mailbox. each account is different mailbox.
No.
say you have two accounts [email protected] and [email protected].
each has a sperate mailbox (or account).
Each has a separate Inbox, but each account can have as many mailboxes as
you wish to create.
I think you're confusing "Inbox" with "mailbox".
in one account/Mailbox I have only the standard 5 sub directories or
subfolders.
in the other not counting the five standard. Inbox, template, Drafts,
Trash and junk.
I have 61 others. I have filters rules for all.
[email protected] below it is starts out with inbox the follow the rest.
the [email protected]
starts out with inbox and the rest follows.
The filter rules are completely apart and separate between the two in-boxes
the account name(s) are the mailboxes. and inbox and the other are
directories of the mailbox
Okay ... one last try, then I give up. Each "place" where you can place
messages is a mailbox. The mailbox named "Inbox" is the main mailbox in
the account where new messages are downloaded. However, messages can
be copied/moved from Inbox to any other mailbox (even to mailboxes in
other accounts).
Each "account" can have any number of mailboxes - you can create mailboxes
until the cows come home.
Now, with this understanding, go back and look at what I said about the
filters, or don't. I don't care.
Best Regards,
If that's the way you look at,I guess your correct. In any event each
inbox (for each email account) has its own set of filters. Its still
uses the same filter manager. But each has its own filter list.
Does that explain it better?
I just look at different.
Just like some people call tomatoes Toe-May-Toes and other call the
Ta-ma-toes.
